| The one about singlish |
[Oct. 26th, 2007|12:24 am] |
You browse 4chan, you'll have to learn that we all get flamed every once in a while, from being Singaporean, to being American, to being a dickwad. Honestly though, it's not as if we've never been criticised for our english-speaking capabilities. Why is it so different when it comes from a foreigner? The fact is that singlish is a characteristic of a Singaporean society but do we really want it to be in the first place?
When we type or speak in excessive singlish we sound like morons. I'm not saying this because I believe in constantly being prim and proper or english-teacher perfect, but because I feel that unless you can get your foundations right, in a language that is now marked as the global language, don't fuck it up. Don't fool around if you don't know what you're doing.
While I can agree that it is marginally insulting to singlish being used as an example, I see no wrong with it. Neither do I see it as an attack specifically on Singapore. I think we need to be a little more open minded as to what we want to attack, because while I think it's great that we have some sense of patriotism even on the internet, I think it's really stupid to not understand the purpose behind it.
I'm sure he wasn't attacking Singaporeans per se, it's the way we speak, and can we really blame anyone for that? We have retarded 14 year old school kids writing on the backs of buses that way and we laugh at them and call them idiots. What's the difference with an external party saying the same thing?
His tone is certainly an issue with me because I still feel that although you're on 4chan, certain things like implicitly insulting the culture of another country is taboo. But I can't blame him for that because if we're going to advocate the freedom of speech and the freedom of choice we damn well better respect it elsewhere. In any case, it's not as if we don't insult others online either.
I don't know. I commented because I saw, at least, I think I did, where he was coming from, but where we were as well. Fundamentally I am a Singaporean. I respect our need to distinguish our country on a global scale. What I don't respect are the retarded symbols we choose to elevate. Singlish is one of them. |

| The thing about love |
[Sep. 2nd, 2007|11:40 pm] |
Or what appears to be love
Is that
The wanting of the soul that
Sits, curved like an inverted question
Mark, atop the barstools, coffee cup in hand
Often prerequisites
His wanting you back.

My period hurts. Cramps are making me a little achy, but well, the sorrow of being female.
Still I think things are looking up. I figure that I'm glad I'll be going to J2, with new people, new experiences and best of all, stepping out of the debating circuit. And with that, I can afford to leave a lot of my emotional baggage behind.
Still all in all, I know that I've been a good speaker, I guess I've grown. This year I've grown a lot. Next year, I'll be helping my juniors to grow. It's nice to know that my duties don't go unappreciated. Thanks, Lucas.
I think it's amazing what you can do, when you decide that it's just not worth hurting over any more. It's just...well, if you have the capacity to hurt me now, you'll have the capacity to hurt me in the future. And I don't think I want to put myself in that position.
Still, all things considered, I've been doing well. And I'll be leaving for Bintan 3rd to 5th December! So, I won't be around, but when I come back, I expect to see my inbox saying HI YOU'RE HOME LET'S GO OUT pplz thanks!
It's christmas, guys! It's time to go shopping, and I dunno about you, but I have a really good feeling that good karma is accumulating and santa's waiting to drop me something wonderful down the chimney. It's going to be an absolute blast, because I know who my real friends are.
It's still bumpy, and still difficult, but well, hey, right now, at 6.56 pm, life is absolutely wonderful without you. |

Woo, awesome, so finally the stuff has arrived, with just a little more arriving on the way. All these items go for under $10, so it's quite a bargain considering the shipping cost to bring this over from USA.
Before buying, please read:

Hello,
Collection for your items will be on the 2nd of July, Sunday, Orchard MRT at 2pm. Please bring your money and a little extra in case you want to get anything else!
Please take note, and all that jazz. So this will be Aki, Rene, Sharon, Claudia, Jessica/Joyce, Janice, Natalie that will be coming down, look for me! I'm usually wearing something orange, or someone who wears her phone around her neck on a GERMANY handphone strap.
Also! To others it's still not too late to place further orders, just refer to the previous public entry, and leave a comment there itself. The next shipment will come in November in time for the Christmas season, so if you're still willing to buy from me then, let me know on Sunday as well. IMPT.
Thank you all for patronizing! Enjoy your products. |

I'm not sure why 21st November is such an important date to me but WELL IT IS IMPORTANT FOR THIS REASON THE O LEVELS WILL BE OVER TOMORROW THANK YOU GOD. I will run around naked and screaming and tear up my entry proof on the overhead bridge outside school and sprinkle it over cars like shiny happy confetti!!!11`1`1`~~
Anyway! Leave me your christmas wishes and I'll see if I can make like Santa and fit through your christmas tree. Or something. Preferably under $10 a pop, because this is a Cheap Santa. WELL I DON'T KNOW I NEED TO WORK RIGHT AND BUY MY JC BOOKS THANKS. Go on! SMS me, keep me company, you know you all want to.
Anyway:
What is so wrong about being confident, finally, for an exam? I don't think there's anything fundamentally wrong in that, if I've done what's needed, exceeded it, did my best, and ultimately, tried my hardest. So I fucked up Biology and Add Math, that doesn't mean I still can't score my <9. I know I did well for the papers, I listened to the teachers, pulled up a failing lit score of 12 to an 18 in one single essay and did better for the O levels. I know I did english well, because I generally have, and I know I owned E Math because I practised and practised, eventually neglecting A Math AHAHAHAHA, but it was a doable paper. I did SS ok, because I generally do, except for a factual fuckup which won't affect my score, since an East India Company was backed by the Dutch anyway, and I did a development question for Geography, my pet topic and actually understood what I was writing about. So maybe I might not get an A1 for SS/Geog, but I know I did well enough because I tried, and because I knew I tried, and because I knew it turned out better than it generally has been before, I'll do ok. AEP is a non issue, maybe an A2, if you're going to be nitpicky about my photoshop layers. Chemistry is an A1 because I studied, and pretty damn hard for it, and because fuck, Cambridge obviously likes easy chemistry papers.
So what's wrong about knowing that I did well, or at least, better than my miserbale 18? Nothing, right? In the event I get <9, I know that I deserved every single distinction on the certificate because I sacrificed everything for it this year: debate, drama, my social life, everything. And because I did that, I know that it -will- pay off in the end. Call me stupid, but I feel accomplished, results or not because I've improved, I've made a tremendous jump, and well, I won't fault myself for feeling happy. So I fucked up prelims, even though I tried. It fucking hurt to know I was somewhere near the middle of the class, with an 18 after moderation from a 19 when half my circle scores single digits. I feel stupid, you know, hanging around the smarter people because it feels like I can't match up, but I don't care, because one day I can be as good as you are, and maybe one day I can be better, because that's what you're here for; to make me a better person. And inside I know that even if I don't get <9, I stuck it right through to the end, I stuck with AEP, I didn't drop A Math, I didn't drop to sub-science. And that is enough to make me feel that while GETTING 15 POINTS WOULD SUCK MAJOR NUTS BOLTS AND COATHANGERS THAN SOMETHING DEADER THAN A DOORKNOB, hey I still ended up with something to show in the end, and that's the effort that I put in.
I think I'm confident for a particularly good reason, and in retrospect, y'know, maybe it isn't confidence that I'm feeling because no one is confident for shit like that, it's probably an immense feeling of gratification. I can be a fuckup once or twice but evnetually I'll -get- it, y'know. Sheesh. So! I mean hey I'd like the <9 points and all that, but if I don't get it, well, life goes on, right? And you never know, I might do exceptionally fantastically in CJC too.
Thus ends my soliloquy. |
